Obama did Cash for Clunkers which means all the old cheap junkers got compacted a decade ago.

We had something kind of like that for diesel cars called the scrapped scheme. Its the reason Jeremy Clarkson was able to get a Volvo for £1 in a Top Gear Challange.

People really find anything to blame on Obama. The pandemic and reduction of car sales in 2020-2021 is why prices are currently up. Cash for clunkers did have an effect on used car prices a few years after it rolled out but we're talking around a decade ago.
